driftfleet_ooc | Summer Test Drive! (Calibrations edition!)

THE SUMMER TEST DRIVE MEME
(Or Winter Test Drive for you Southern Hemisphere folks!)

Got someone you want to try out before you app? Well this is the post for it! Feel free to use anything that fits in the setting of Drift Fleet! Want to play bumper shuttles? Want to go wild in a med bay? Play around with the current plot? Have at it!

Threads from the Test-Drive may be made game "canon" but DO NOT count toward AC!

FOR NEW PLAYERS: You DO NOT NEED an invite to participate in the TEST DRIVE! If you decide to APP into the game, ONLY THEN will you need an invite from a current player!

SPECIAL NOTE!
Since June is a special month in which we'll be breaking from the usual plot to bring back the calibrations plot, the Test Drive prompts will come in two flavors!

OPTION A: Standard Test Drive
Go ahead and treat the test drive as you normally would, using past plots or fleet locations as your setting! Here's some helpful info for some ideas.

April/May's Star System

March's Star System

Game Details

SS Iskaulit

OPTION B: Build-a-Calibration
If you'd like, you can use the info given about the Calibrations plot to design your own calibration room for any characters you want! Got a character you want to explore their inner psyche but isn't in the game yet? Go ahead and try it out! It can be a fully fleshed out room, or simply just a small part of it you'd like to play with.

Alternatively for any characters that are in the game, you can use this as a chance to either iron out, brainstorm, or test run any components of your calibration before the actual plot starts! We don't recommend posting the entirety of your calibration in this meme (as you'll have nothing new to post come plot time), but this can be a good chance to test out any parts to make sure they work how you desire.

Test drives are posted SEASONALLY, so the next one will be in September!

That's just as bad. Maybe worse.

I'm not really sure how it all works, really.

Oh, I'm Kara, by the way.

[To be fair, no one really knows how it all works, honestly. It's kind of a complicated clusterfuck.]

Time lost you for awhile, but got you back.

I'm Jennifer.

[ she's surprised ]

Oh. Um, yes, that did happen.

How did you know?

[She whispers, kind of conspiratorially.]

I know because Time knows.

Seriously? Are we even from the same universe?

That I don't know. [She's connected to time not the multiverse, gosh.] But we're in the same universe now, and Time is sort of everywhere.

Well... okay that's true.

I was caught in the Phantom Zone. For 24 years.

Sounds scary.

[Like, honestly. Jennifer has a fear of confinement, being stuck somewhere for a quarter century sounds terrifying.]

Did you know?

No, I was asleep for the entire time, until I reached Earth.

Oh...well. That still sounds terrible, but I guess it's better than being aware the whole time.

Yeah, because I was 12 when I went in and I was still 12 when I came out.

[Yeah, that explains the feeling she had about her being lost for awhile.]

You fell out of time.

Yep. But luckily I fell back in, too.

Time's glad to have you back.

You speak with a lot of authority.

Like I said, I see lots of pieces. You're not a piece of my puzzle, but you're an important one somewhere.

So, probably a different universe thing.

Maybe. Yeah. That's new.

Strangely not for me. That friend with the time travel? He also came to my world once, completely on accident.

...He didn't break the multiverse too, did he?

[Because that sounds dangerous. But then again, apparently she's just slipped into another dimension herself, so maybe it just happens sometimes?? Weird though. Like, even weirder than what she normally deals with.]

Not as far as I know, but I don't think it's as fragile as the timestream.

Yeah, okay. That's probably true.

[Hard to know for sure, she's new to this multidimensional stuff. But it sounds legit.]

I've been back and forth a bit and it seems to hold steady.

So, is this one your universe or a different one?

[She's still not clear on which universe is which honestly. She knows this one isn't hers, but other than that, who knows.]
